Making the effort to take full advantage of personal and professional growth opportunities can help leaders achieve significant goals.

1. Make Learning a Priority

People do what they see as a priority. We all have a finite amount of time, so when education becomes a priority, it moves from the category of "spare time" to "dedicated time." Some individuals prefer microlearning. Personally, when I want to learn something, I dedicate significant chunks to it because now it's a priority. - Paula Oleska , Natural Intelligence Systems

2. Leverage Microlearning Opportunities

In the fast-paced world of business, staying on top of your game is essential. Microlearning is the busy leader's ally. Set clear goals, embrace learning as a daily ritual and use technology to consume bite-sized, relevant content. Apply knowledge, engage in discussions, seek feedback and reflect on progress. A few minutes daily can forge a sharper intellect. - Bala Sathyanarayanan , GREIF Inc .

3. Build Learning Into Your Work

Before acting on a business problem, take the time to learn more about the problem and how others have addressed it or are addressing it. While problem-driven learning can be hard to prioritize in moments of stress, it delivers immediate and long-term returns. Acting wisely is often more important than acting hastily. - Tia Goss Sawhney , Teus Health, LLC

4. Get a Mentor

Having a mentor with more and varied experience in your corner with whom you meet regularly is a great way to continue growing personally and professionally. Even if you only dedicate an hour a week to spending time with your mentor, you can learn so much. It will also often lead to inspiration for other areas to pursue personal and educational growth in. - Ryan Carroll , Wealth Assistants

5. Seek Out Professional and Industry Association Memberships

Think outside the organization by interacting with people who know what skills they need to develop. Explore memberships in professional or industry associations with local meetings, webinars and regional and national conferences. Also, assigning staff members to special projects or cross-disciplinary work committees, free online courses, participation on nonprofit boards and planning or execution community projects are a few ideas for internally promoting learning. - Darlene Andert , Accounting for Profitability LLC

6. Take Online Classes

There are a lot of online options right now even from the top universities. Most of the classes can be taken after work online, and these are augmented with physical meetings with professors and classmates. You can't really say you have very little spare time all the time. Additional education can pay for itself if you become a better leader because of it. - Zain Jaffer , Zain Ventures

7. Listen to Audio Content When Commuting

People who commute to work by driving can utilize their travel time to listen to audiobooks, podcasts or the like. People who ride on public transportation can do the same while also having the option of reading books and articles in print. There are several subscription-based apps that provide well-made print and audio summaries of many great works; I myself use both Blinkist and 12min. - Joseph Steinberg , CyberSecurity and Artificial Intelligence Expert Services

8. Enlist the Help of an Accountability Partner

Enlist an accountability partner or someone that you can debrief, challenge and share resources with. This will encourage consistency and diversify your sources of learning. Most leaders have a competitive edge to them, so nurturing that and finding someone to intellectually spar with not only keeps them relevant, but also naturally generates a habit and fuels motivation. - Leah Marone , Corporate Wellness Consultant

9. Divest Before You Invest

When you choose to invest in something new, divest of something else first. Start small with your strategy to divest. Choose momentum over momentous. Think in five-minute increments rather than five-day increments. Reallocate five minutes at a time until you create space to dedicate to your own growth. - Karen Mangia , The Engineered Innovation Group

10. Find Educational Activities That Align With Your Goals

Education and ongoing growth isn't a one-size-fits-all endeavor. Find the educational activities that mean the most to you and focus your energy there. If in-person events are more effective for you, that's great! If you prefer online events, then that's wonderful! If you value a free-flowing brainstorming environment, go for it! There is no wrong answer, except for staying stagnant, not learning and refusing to grow. - Melissa Puls , Ivanti

Local firms to provide expert advice to startups and high growth businesses

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TAMPA & ESTERO, FL – February 27, 2019 – Clearwater Business Advisors LLC , a national mid-market general management consulting firm based in Tampa, and Accounting for Profitability LLC in Estero, that provides CPA services & financial consulting to clients primarily in South West Florida, have signed an agreement to provide expert business advice to companies in the Tampa-Naples corridor.

Driven by the area’s booming business environment, the two companies said their combined experience in business consultancy and accounting will help early stage and growth companies access expert advice. Typically, large regional and global brand-name consulting firms are unaffordable for most small and mid-sized businesses. Area entrepreneurs seeking to grow their businesses will benefit from the capabilities both firms bring to today’s competitive and disruptive business environment.

“Small to medium size businesses and startups, are rapidly growing in Southwest Florida as the region strives to diversify its economy. “We see this diversity evolving in our local markets especially in information technology, healthcare and apps focused on the shared economy,” said Robert Morlot, Managing Partner at Clearwater. “We’re excited and ready to help those entrepreneurs who have great ideas, but need general management guidance that only experienced senior executives and consultants can provide.”

“Eighty percent of business value is found in the intangibles” said Ike Lichtenstein, CPA, CEO of Accounting for Profitability, LLC. “Our CPA and advisory services help business leaders make their businesses both profitable and well-run. Partnering with Clearwater expands our support to business owners – from start-up to mid-size businesses. We do this by developing processes that work and last years, not months”.

The timing of the new partnership is ideal, according to Morlot, since small and mid-sized companies will need supplemental skills and expertise to drive their growth. The same is true for companies emerging from local incubator or accelerator programs in the area.

Working jointly, the two firms seek to tap into the thriving entrepreneurial and startup community in both Collier and Lee Counties. With a lower cost of living, no state tax, favorable state incentives, and of course, over 300 days of sunshine and warm weather, the area is

attractive for an increasing number of younger people who want to stay in the region – a key component for business growth in the future.

For these reasons, Clearwater Business Advisors and Accounting for Profitability believe the timing of the partnership is ideal and will help local entrepreneurs launch and grow their businesses.
